Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a recent MOT failure. While the vehicle has a history of passing tests without defects, the most recent failure at 98,650 miles requires immediate investigation.
Your primary objective should be to identify the exact cause of the April 2026 MOT failure. Since the record shows 'No defects recorded' alongside the failure status, you must request the specific failure details from the seller or check the official DVSA database to see what component failed.
Beyond the failure, check the service history for oil changes and spark plug replacements, which are standard for a 1.8L petrol engine of this age. Given the mileage is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, inspect the drive belts and suspension components for signs of wear that may not have been captured in previous passing tests.
The 1798cc petrol engine will place this vehicle in a moderate insurance group and tax band typical for a 2010 SUV. Fuel economy for this model is generally average for its class, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for a Mitsubishi of this era are generally predictable, but at nearly 100,000 miles, you should budget for potential wear-and-tear items such as brakes, tyres, and suspension bushings. The estimated annual running cost is likely to be mid-range for a petrol crossover.
Start by investigating the specific reason for the 2026 MOT failure at 98,650 miles. Because the previous four MOT tests (2021–2025) recorded no defects, this recent failure is a significant departure from the vehicle's recent trend.
Inspect the underside of the grey bodywork for any signs of corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, which is common for vehicles of this age. Additionally, test the clutch and gearbox, as the 1.8L engine's performance at high mileage can sometimes reveal transmission wear.
This 2010 Mitsubishi ASX, finished in grey, has covered 98,650 miles since its first registration in November 2010. The MOT history shows a consistent period of passing tests without defects between 2021 and 2025. However, the most recent test in April 2026 resulted in a failure, which breaks a long streak of clean records.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Mitsubishi ASX to provide a comparative benchmark.

Common Problems: MITSUBISHI ASX
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- DPF Clogging (1.8 DI-D)(Moderate)
The diesel particulate filter clogs quickly if the car isn't driven on the motorway regularly.
- Oil Dilution (Diesel)(Serious)
Interrupted DPF regenerations cause unburnt fuel to leak into the oil sump, raising the oil level and thinning the lubricant.
